 |
|
I have my vnc server up and running just fine, only problem is I get a default X environment, no XFCE4 that I usually run when I am in front of the computer. How do I change this?

In your home folder (whichever home you are running the vncserver from) there will be a hidden directory called .vnc and in there is the xstartup file. This is essentially your startup script, and at the end is a line to start twm. Comment this out and add (or replace it with) startxfce4 & Like this (ex. ~/.vnc/xstartup):
| Code: | #!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
#xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
#twm &
startxfce4 & |
I comment out the xterm line as well, so I don't get a terminal window everytime I launch it... |
